Bad engine ground?

I would think the rear, as you said it is easiest and from my experience on the road that axle has best contact. That's my two cents. Btw, awesome project, I have bee following it and can't wait to see it when it is done!

Take your test light or ohm meter and check for current between the glow plug terminal and the ground. If you don't get current when you cycle the glow plug controller but you do have current at the controller under the same conditions, you have most likely burnt one or more of your fusible...

Awesome, thanks Warthog, indeed it is easy. I hope all of our members will support this. It may or may not impact me down the road but if all I ever get involved with are things that affect me..........well that's just not who we are.

Okay, I surfed a while trying to figure out how to send money on my paypal account and I can't find the link. Call me stupid.... I'm good with that, but if you post a link (and use small words) I can use - then you have addressed the MOST challenged in this area. SO, how do I do it?

Wow, how about more info on how you came to have two halves of a cable? Where you using the winch? What size cable etc..... More info please. Ooops, just realized you were using a 923! Scratch the winch part but still interested on what happened.

A thoughtful and touching offering. Your father would be proud. We will keep you in our prayers - welcome to the community.

On a block heater, I suggest you do a search, there are a couple of good threads with pics that cover the issue pretty thoroughly. A really good investment for sure.

Csm davis has you on the right track, you have a fuel delivery issue not a cold start issue. Sounds like you need to replace your fuel filter, drain your tank (you posted the fuel looked dirty) and check all your connections. Personally I wouldn't put fuel conditioner in the fuel just to get it...

Bummer wreckerman893, my boom works fine with super singles. I have used it several times to change tires.

Harbor Freight is a popular place to pick up an inexpensive chain hoist. You don't need one that will lift the truck so they are pretty cheap.

which parts are not on your truck? You can find a chain hoist about anywhere but you should already have the boom with the roller on it. It looks like this.

Remember that same alarm stays on all the time the parking brake is on.

Impressive trucks.

I would suggest you surf the web a bit and find a good forum on these motors. There are a few but I don't know if it is okay to name them so pm me if you want. The reason I say that is because all 6.2-6.5 blocks are not made equal. There were a few years where the casting was stronger in the...

Adding cruise is an interesting question. I drove a truck with cruise for years but I wouldn't consider putting it on my 925. The N14 motor got better mileage on cruise which put more money in my pocket, plus the ECM on the motor had a number of defaults that would disengage the cruise if there...

I have found that with two batteries in my 925/NHC250 about 45 degrees is as cold as it will start without an ether boost. I don't use the ether system, I lightly spray ether into the intake so it has time to disperse and it seems to help. In single digits, it takes the block heater though, no...

I would suspect the fuel filter. If there is come crud on the filter, killing the engine will allow the crud to drop to the bottom and sometimes stay there at restart. Just a thought, but I would suggest a change of filter and see if that handles it. Good luck.

We talking 6.2 NA?

K9Vic, I respect your standing up for ORD as a small business owner but as I see it, great customer service is about all the small business owner has over the big box and internet companies and it sure doesn't sound like ORD gave our op that. I for one would stay way from ORD and I passed that...
